the Plebe 'EWG I11 ot long after we became midshipmen we became aware that dullness of the crowded academic routine could make existence here unbelievably drab. To help balance our lives as midshipmen, we knew it would be necessary to seek diversion in other interests. Guided by our 'neatly outlined bibles, we found many activities to supplement our academics, awaiting attention. 'Using the foreign languages so assiduously boned in Luce I-Iall in informal conversation, we made Dago a hobby, not a chore. We took pictures, investigated the curiosities of radio, sang and played every kind of music from jive to symphony. .The old maxim learn by doing assumed its full meaning as we became proficient yachtsmen, juice gang savoirs, and accomplished model craftsmen.
